Admiration - Digital Cross Stitch Pattern

This design is inspired by a passage from The Color Purple, my favorite novel and movie of all time. The full quote is included with your download, but here’s the main message:

“Listen, God love everything you love - and a mess of stuff you don't. But more than anything else, God love admiration. I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.”

Flowers deserve to be appreciated and treasured, as does all of nature. So here’s a few late May blooms for you to add to your collection.
